On this week’s Sunday Brunch, we sadly say goodbye to yet another musician: drummer Keith Mitchell, who was a staple of the L.A. music scene and performed with several bands, including Mazzy Star (pictured; that’s Keith in the upper right), Opal, Green on Red, and The Romans — all of whom we’ll hear from in this podcast. We’ll also spin tunes by The Mekons, The Plimsouls, James White & The Blacks, The Dentists, Died Pretty, The Verlaines, Silkworm, The Church, Volcano Suns, The Beautiful South, Stereolab, Big Boys, The Embarrassment, Joe Jackson, Lemonheads, My Bloody Valentine, Moving Targets, and much more.
